Etta James

Etta James

Jamesetta Hawkins (Los Ángeles, 25 de enero de 1938), Etta James, cantante estadounidense de soul y rhythm and blues. Vocalista de vida extraordinariamente problemática, su presencia ha sido, no obstante, permanente a lo largo de los últimos cincuenta años, percibiéndose únicamente una profundización en su voz, que aunque ha ganado en rudeza no ha perdido la capacidad de siempre de expresar el dolor y la pasión. Etta James canta habitualmente de forma desgarrada, elevando el volumen de la voz hasta los límites con el puro grito sin control; en directo, su histrionismo la lleva a bordear el ámbito de lo obsceno.

Letra de I'd Rather Go Blind
Something told me it was over
when I saw you and her talking,
Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry Girl",
when I saw you and that girl, walking out.
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all.
Ooooo So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no

I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah,
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby,
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.
And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
